[Video]How to Cut Fabric with the Cricut using CTMH Artbooking

Have you ever wanted to learn how to cut fabric with your Cricut machine?Now's your chance - I have a video showing you how to do this below!Today's "Trick or Treat" bag was made using the Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut cartridge. I made the following cut from the cartridge:

And then I got started on making my "Trick or Treat" bag (bag from Hobby Lobby).Here's how to cut fabric in the Cricut:1) Wash and dry fabric. Then, using heavy starch, iron the fabric on high heat with no steam. Iron item you are adhering the cut to.2) Iron Heat 'n Bond onto fabric. Be sure and follow directions on package of Heat 'n Bond (lower setting on iron to medium, no steam).3) Cut "trick or treat" out from the CTMH Artbooking cartridge at 8-3/4" REAL dial size using the following settings: Blade at 6, Pressure at 6, speed at 3 and multi-cut it 2 times. Fabric will be up on the mat, paper backing down on the mat.4) Pull off paper backing on cut. Then iron as directed on Heat 'N Bond packaging. DO NOT OVER IRON - sticky goes away if you do this!

Cutting and adhering literally took 15 minutes. The most time consuming part was washing and drying the fabric beforehand.

I appreciated your video on cutting fabric on the Cricut. I definitely want to try that. I like to make Fall cards, mostly because I love the colors and images (leaves, acorns, etc.). In fact, I'm going to make some this weekend!

I have done a handful of projects with fabric. In my opinion, it really makes a difference if you have a new blade and on the type of fabric. But, I maybe could have screwed it up somehow. Lol! Would like to do some more projects soon.

Love the Cute Trick or Treat Bag. Thanks for Sharing how to make it. Sounds simple enough. About the Fall Cards, I say YAY! I Love Fall,Everything about it. I Love making Fall Cards for my Family. So Excited about your Giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win. :0)

Thanks so much for a great tutorial! I love to discover all the new fun applications for my Cricut. The Artbooking Cartridge seems like a must have. I say yes to Fall Cards! Fall is the very best time of the year and should be celebrated accordingly!!

Fall is a super busy time for us ( harvest and all) so unless I thought ahead months, no I won't make fall cards, though I love them. You rock! With all the time you spend for your followers! It looks like a job and a half or two! Thanks

Nay on Fall cards. I did make about 100 last year for a church group of kids for Thanksgiving to give to their parents letting them know what they were thankful for. Not sure I'll do that again but the thought has crossed my mind. Have a fun day!

I make Halloween cards for my grandchildren, but that is the extent of my cards for Fall. The trick or treat bag that you created is very cute. I have never tried cutting material on my cricut but I might have to try it.

Love making Fall cards but there isn't anyone to send them to here in South Florida!!! LOLThanks for another PERFECT video tutorial...I might just try that for the kids.Creative WishesCaire Swww.scrapmyway.blogspot.com

How to chose but I think that my favorite was the "gate" card. Followed by how to cut fabric. The spray starch was a great tip. Always learn something from your blog. Thank you for the chance to win. Jill P. Manteca, cA

Love the Video!You're one fast crafter 2 thumbs up on your bag!I Like to make fall things for the house(something for the front door & for the mantle)Fall is my fav.time of the year!TFS Rosebud222222222

This is such a fabulous project! I LOVE IT! You made it seem so simple and easy..I have never cut fabric before, have ventured into vinyl only a few times, but you make me brave enough to try it!

As for fall cards... yes, I love to do them because Fall is my favorite season. Also it can be such a pick me up to somebody who's gone through the ordeal of back-to-school preps for kids or grankids. It's kind of a "look forward" to the upcoming holiday season!

What a great project, thks for sharng with us, seems so simple that I have to try it right away.Love fall season, the colors, the leaves, the smell of the fresh air, lovely. And for the cards and projects its the perfect time.
